Unable to access Comcast email from mail client
Today, 11/14/25, Outlook is unable to access the Comcast imap server. Everything has been working fine for the past year or so, and nothing has changed on my end. Comcast site says no outages. No way to troubleshoot or open a ticket to find out how to fix this. Do any of you have any suggestions? Thank you.

I have the same exact problem. Attempted to create a new profile and received the same results. I also have the same problem with my Android email client. Lastly, I have the same exact issue on another computer. I, too, have made no changes and had my email working for well over a year. I cannot find a resolution to this problem, although I suspect it is on Comcast's end.

I spoke with an Xfinity rep who elevated my case to a Customer Security Assurance Team rep. The Customer Security Assurance Team rep had me delete and recreate my profile in Outllook using the settings listed in the
above post:
Incoming mail:
Server imap.comcast.net Port 993
Encryption method SSL/TLS
Outgoing mail:
Server smtp.comcast.net Port 465
Encryption method SSL/TLS
After re-entering my information in Outlook, the rep conducted a "Refresh" on her side. This "Refresh" resolved both my issue with Outlook, as well as the synching issue I had with my email client [BlueMail] on my cellphone.
I hope this helps...

I started this post but someone else marked it as resolved. It is not resolved. If the resolution is to speak to a Comcast rep and have your case elevated to a Customer Security Assurance Team to have your account "refreshed", I would like to know how to accomplish that. I have been unable to speak with anyone at Comcast as the website support just refers me back to the instructions. I did delete and recreate my profile in Outlook, which did nothing because Outlook still could not connect with the imap server. I also would like to know how my thread gets marked as resolved when it is not.

I have been having the same problem with comcast email and the Bluemail app for 5 days now. Happening on both my tablet and phone (samsung). Deleted the app on phone, reinstalled, double checked settings. All my accounts, Gmail, outlook and exchange server can pull up. The only one not working is my comcast. Again settings are correct. Anyone have an answer rather than getting on the horrible wait lines?
